Wei Yanzhou's whole body became very stiff.
No, of course not.
It's not that she's weak that's delaying intercourse, it's that she's pregnant.
But Cheng Ning looked at him with such questioning eyes, which made Wei Yanzhou feel like - did she know something?
Are you testing him?
Otherwise, with Cheng Ning's temperament, how could she say such tempting words?
Did she discover something?
No, how is that possible.
Cheng Ning has always been physically slow.
He didn't think she had the acumen for this.
My thoughts were fast and I thought a lot, but it was only in the blink of an eye.
If Cheng Ning reacted later, she would definitely be more suspicious.
So Wei Yanzhou calmed down and said, "Cheng Ning, are you seeking sex with me now?"
Throwing the question back to Cheng Ning.
As expected, Cheng Ning would not pay attention to this kind of problem.
She turned over in front of Wei Yanzhou, turned her back to him and said, "I'm sleepy."
When it comes to pride or anything else, Cheng Ning certainly won't answer this question.
But the back is lonely and cold, as if to say: You are dreaming.
Wei Yanzhou swallowed an unspeakable breath and pulled the quilt up to her shoulders.
However, Cheng Ning didn't buy it: "You are the one who pulls me up and down, can you just ignore me?"
Wei Yanzhou's rare: "..."
Are all pregnant women so difficult to take care of?
"I will work hard for you myself, and I will hold back my unhappiness."
This time it was Cheng Ning: "..."
Quietness finally returned to the room, and the scent of soothing incense lingered faintly throughout the room.
Wei Yanzhou kept looking at Cheng Ning in the same posture until her breathing gradually stabilized and she seemed to be asleep.
Chunhua didn't hear any movement in the room and came in to investigate.
What they saw was that His Majesty the Emperor was leaning sideways and blocking the candlelight for his wife, but he himself had his eyes open.
If it hadn't been for many of the previous things, the Cheng family would not be in the same situation as it is now.
Na Chunhua really thinks that Your Majesty's love is as deep as the sea, and that she and your empress are like the most suitable lovers in the world.
No matter how gently she let go, the sound of her footsteps could not be hidden from Wei Yanzhou.
The other person just glanced at her sternly, as if warning her to take it easy.
Then he motioned to her to turn off the light.
Chunhua complied with the instructions one by one, extinguished the candles in the hall until only one was left, and bowed out before exiting.
Wei Yanzhou then lay down - still sideways, but this time he stretched out his hand and slowly wrapped it around Cheng Ning's body.
The dim light softened His Majesty's expression, making him look a little cautious.
Cheng Ning was sleeping lightly, and she might wake up easily.
But not today. She was probably really tired. She felt the touch in her sleep, frowned and moved, changing her position.
The person who just now said that he did not need to cover himself with a quilt may feel that the spring night is cold at this moment, so he naturally moves closer to the heat source.
——She arched her head and pressed her whole body into Wei Yanzhou's arms.
The small mole on the tip of his nose also hides into Wei Yanzhou's neck very cutely.
Breathing is clear and audible, seductive without even realizing it.
Wei Yanzhou could only freeze in one movement, letting Cheng Ning cling to his arms and breathing evenly again.
He sighed heavily and resigned himself to being a heater.
There was a sound that sounded like Huahua's hawk mooing from outside the window. It was very short and seemed to have been stopped.
The night became quiet again.
After a long time, even Wei Yanzhou fell into a deep sleep.
But in his arms, Cheng Ning, who should have been sleeping soundly, opened her eyes.
The night is dark and midnight has passed.
In the spring yard, even though someone had specially cleaned it, there was still the feeling of early summer coming, and the squeaking sounds of insects could be heard.
Cheng Ning didn't move at all.
From her perspective, she could see Wei Yanzhou's peaceful sleeping face. He rarely showed such calmness.
When she first entered the palace, Cheng Ning couldn't sleep because there were too many things on her mind.
But if Wei Yanzhou finds her awake, it will cause more dissatisfaction and bullying.
So she always pretends to sleep with her eyes closed.
Over time, I have accumulated some experience in pretending to sleep, and I know how to pretend to be the best.
Not only Chunhua could see it, but Wei Yanzhou and Meng Xin should also not be able to see it.
In addition to this, she also opened her eyes and stared at Wei Yanzhou countless times when he was sleeping.
Many times he would frown while sleeping, as if there were always things he couldn't let go of or people he couldn't let go of in his dreams.
——So far, things have changed a bit.
Wei Yanzhou, who was asleep again, was actually very calm and not so unhappy anymore.
Cheng Ning wanted to reach out and touch his eyebrows, but she just wanted to think about it.
Whenever she moved, Wei Yanzhou's arm on her waist could feel it. How could someone who was also sleeping lightly be dealt with so easily?
The night was too dark, reflecting the heavy fog that lingered in Cheng Ning's eyes.
She knew a lot had changed.
From Ouyang Xi's piece of pastry, Meng Xin lowered his eyes and thought it was a well-hidden comfort.
Wei Yanzhou restrained himself and backed away.
She closed her eyes resignedly and fell into a chaotic, unspeakable and absurd emotion.
*
Xie Mansion.
The corridor is deep, and the sound of water can be faintly heard from the pavilions.
A man dressed as a guard followed the housekeeper a few steps towards the main courtyard.
The lights in the main courtyard are brightly lit, especially in the study room, where the night pearls shine with incandescent light.
The housekeeper stopped outside the door and knocked lightly: "Mr. Prime Minister, someone has brought it."
"Enter."
After pushing the door open and entering, Xie Zhiyun just put down the pen in his hand and quietly hid a secret note on the table.
The guard behind the butler bowed and said, "Master Prime Minister."
"How did things go?"
The man claimed credit: "Everything has been arranged. Our people have always arranged secrets. Even if we conduct a thorough investigation, we can't find anything. When will the prime minister take action?"
"It's best if you don't find out. If you find out, the family members will be affected," Xie Zhiyun said again, "Just do it when you're ready."
The housekeeper hesitated: "Master, if this is really going to be like this - His Majesty will probably be furious if he finds out."
Everyone knows that His Majesty has been delaying matters concerning the Cheng family, and there are countless people who overtly and secretly speculate on his thoughts.
The daughter's family always focuses on the affection between their children, but in the opinion of the housekeeper, it is Wei Yanzhou who has ulterior motives.
If he didn't want to deal with the Cheng family at all, but just let out a fishing line, then the Prime Minister would act rashly, wouldn't it be——
Unexpectedly, Xie Zhiyun's expression changed and he glanced at him fiercely.
The deep anger in those eyes made both of them feel cold.
Xie Zhiyun didn't often get so angry, and this time it seemed that he was very angry.
"Looking at everything, the truth is that our new emperor is serious about cultivating the Xie family."
The fine wolf hair in Xie Zhiyun's hand was broken by his thumb.
A 'pop' sound is like a small popping sound when burning firewood.
The housekeeper didn't dare to disobey, but Xie Zhiyun's words woke him up.
The eldest daughter from the metropolis took over the East Palace, and the prime minister was promoted to a higher position. The Xie family seemed to be on the rise under the new emperor.
But in fact, half a year has passed.
The new emperor purged the family, so that the Prime Minister did not dare to take the lead. Although he personally named the queen, the queen is now no different from the abandoned concubine in the cold palace.
It seems that he has a high position, but what has the prime minister lost?
